Rocky Exoplanet?

Paging Sylvester Stallone...

Just noticed something...Sylvester Stallone and George W. Bush were born on the same day (July 6, 1946).

The problem I have with these inferred ‘planets’ is that they all (even the putative gas giants) seem to be in ultra-tight orbits around their primaries. Is that really a stable situation? And if it isn’t - if it’s one that only lasts for a while - how come we’re seeing it so often?

I dunno, but I suspect we’re drawing conclusions from a faulty model.
